howto anonymous surfing

are you looking for a little bit more privacy for surfing through the cyberspace?

after all these fantastic web 2.x innovations and more & more sophisticated
user-based web profiling, you should think about it...

even we all know that there is no doubt that google has the best and fastest
search engines/algorithms and no serious competive engine exists, still anyone
should care a bit about privacy settings, like in Firefox:

Preferences > Privacy > Private Data > 'Always clear my private data when I close firefox'
(click on settings right next to it and you should include cookies & saved passwords as well)
C'mon don't be too lazy to type in user/password in forms, get rid of your cookies on a regular base!

one option:using tor (yeahhh, there are rumors about it, of course it's not for HIGHLY anonymous surfing, but enough for the average user and YES it is quite slow, but there is always a drawback with anonymity and free of charge services (and pressure of law enforcement ;-)

another very interesting initative: JonDonym (written in java)http://anonymous-proxy-servers.net/
I use it on a regular base, even the premium services for 10€/year is really worthwhile to spend, speed is more than enough for surfing (I think most nodes are in Europe)!
